Carbon Neutral Quotes

We don't believe carbon capture is a proven, scalable, commercially available technology.

Even if producing CO2 was good for the environment, given that we're going to run out of hydrocarbons, we need to find some sustainable means of operating.

The transition to a low-carbon economy will be one of the defining issues of the 21st century.

Together we can create a more secure, more prosperous low carbon Britain and a world which is sustainable for future generations.

It's obviously tricky to convert cellulose to a useful biofuel. I think actually the most efficient way to use cellulose is to burn it in a co-generation power plant. That will yield the most energy and that is something you can do today.

Renewable energy is no longer a niche fuel.

I support an all-of-the-above approach attacking climate change - everything from moving America towards being carbon-neutral, moving our country towards clean energy.

I think we can say our energy system will be the most efficient and environmentally friendly in the world.

It's extraordinary how inventive one can be with ethanol right now.

The 20th century was the time when the world turned to use of fossil fuels and the 21st century will be the century of the renewables.

I'm very excited by biomass and biofuels. We have a company, KiOR, that turns biomass - for instance, wood chips - into gasoline. The potential value of this company is huge. It could compete with regular crude oil without subsidies.

Hydropower is a clean and renewable energy source that provides affordable power throughout the country.

The most interesting biofuel efforts avoid using land that's expensive and has high opportunity costs. They do this by getting onto other types of land, or taking advantage of byproducts that aren't used in the food chain today, or by intercropping.

The market we're going after is the clean-energy market.

You have to be able to generate usable energy without greenhouse gas emissions, and you have to be able to do it cheaply if you want people to choose that approach. That means new technologies.

Not using fossil fuels is tantamount to not using energy. It is economic suicide and eco-manslaughter.

Seoul will strictly limit the total greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and expand the construction of zero-energy buildings.

People have got to get used to making low carbon choices. If they have a direct incentive to do so they will think about it. Many times a day you have a choice between a low carbon option and a high carbon option, whether it is at home or at work.

We need to figure out a way to create more energy on a gigawatt scale and not create so much CO2 in the process.

There are potentially hundreds of billion dollars, potentially more, that could be saved by moving to a clean energy system. Studies [on healthier diet] show those savings, in fact, are enough to pay the costs of creating 100% clean renewable energy.

It does not matter whether we burn fossil fuels with malice or with love. As far as the atmosphere is concerned, it is not concerned. It is a collection of gases.
